Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

"Mother~"

Wen Lang's voice was filled with deep helplessness and pain.

He presented himself as a filial son who was helpless with his mother.

Wen's mother's reputation could no longer be protected in the short term, but his reputation, of course, could not be allowed to be damaged.

His shout snapped Wen's mother out of her rage. She noticed that the onlookers were all looking at her with disdain.

With a panicked expression, he stopped tearing at Aunt Niu's hair.

Wen Lang inwardly wished he could sew her mouth shut, but on his face he wore an expression of righteous indignation:

“Mother, what are you saying? I’ve always told you that although Shuyan, as a daughter-in-law of the Wen family, always voluntarily and proactively respects her mother-in-law, takes care of her younger sister, and helps her husband, we owe her a debt that I will repay double when I am able to. How can you speak nonsense out of anger?”

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Shuyan with deep affection in his eyes:

"Shuyan, Mother was just angry and that's why she talked nonsense. Please don't hold a grudge against her. Although I will definitely keep my promise to you, if you are worried, then prepare the contract and I will sign it right away."

His words were firm and resolute, and utterly sincere.

The onlookers' doubts vanished completely. They even thought he was filial, loving, and protective of his wife, and very responsible.

Wen Lang noticed the gazes of the crowd and felt a slight sense of relief.

As long as he's alright, he can rise rapidly in his career. Wen's mother and Wen Qing will naturally be fawned over and flattered as he climbs the social ladder.

Moreover, he was certain that, given Yu Shuyan's infatuation with him, she would definitely not agree to let him sign the contract.

She herself suggested not using it, so he naturally couldn't insist.

"Yes, my lord."

Yu Shuyan readily agreed and turned to look at Uncle Fu.

"Uncle Fu, you must have a copy of my dowry list. Go and make one, and I'll cross out the ones that are still there, draw up the contract, and have my husband sign it."

Wen Lang was stunned, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

He observed Yu Shuyan carefully, as if trying to see through her words. Was it because she truly obeyed him completely, or because she was no longer easily manipulated?

Yu Shuyan understood the meaning in his eyes, but feigning ignorance, she looked at Wen Lang with a flattering expression:

"My lord, although I trust you completely, I have no choice but to listen to you and let you sign the contract in order to make everyone believe you. However, I believe that we will never need this contract."

Even with his deep-seated shrewdness, Wen Lang's expression was not pleasant at this moment.

However, he quickly concealed his stern expression and nodded gently:

"Shuyan, don't worry, I remember everything you've done for me. I won't let you have wasted all these years."

Yu Shuyan sneered inwardly:

Yes, you didn't let me give in vain. Instead, you killed 12 members of my Yu family, poisoned me and Xiao Tuanzi, and went to curry favor with Chang Ning to repay me.

On his face, however, his smile was even more adoring:

"My husband, I believe in you!"

Soon, Uncle Fu brought over the contract.

Yu Shuyan adjusted her clothes, signed her name first, and then innocently handed it to Wen Lang:

"My husband, my dowry is easy to check, because all that's left are a few sets of headdresses and jewelry. You can sign here."

Wen Lang felt extremely aggrieved, but looking at Yu Shuyan's innocent and naive smile, he felt even more powerless. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still signed his name.

Yu Shuyan felt a chill in her heart:

Wenlang, I will make you return everything you took from me, little by little. We have a long time ahead of us, let's take it slow!

Wen Lang felt aggrieved and didn't want to stay any longer. He bowed to Yu Wantao and the others.

"Father, Mother, I'll take my mother and the others back first. As for Shuyan, let her stay at home for a few more days."

Looking into his gentle eyes, Yu Wantao thought of Fang Weizhi's accusation that Wen Lang had instructed him to cripple Yu Moyan, and he felt it was impossible.

He frowned slightly and nodded.

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer."

Wen Qing stepped forward to support her mother, squeezed her hand, and hurriedly gave her a meaningful look.

Wen's mother suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Yu Shuyan, saying:

"Shuyan, about that hundred gold coins you mentioned earlier~"

Wen Lang wanted nothing more than to tear her mouth apart. "Why are you still acting like this?" he sighed weakly, turning back.

"Mother, you~"

Mother Wen hurriedly said:

"No, didn't she just say she prepared one hundred gold coins for us? If we don't accept it, wouldn't we be letting down our in-laws' kindness?"

Yu Shuyan was immediately amused. In her previous life, all she had ever seen was Wen's mother's harsh words and vulgar manner. She never expected that she would be so quick-witted.

But, well, hehe.

Yu Shuyan stepped forward, bowed slightly, and was very respectful:

"Mother, please wait a moment, I'll go and get it for you to take back."

A glint of greed flashed in Wen's mother's eyes as she thought to herself:

You're smart to be sensible, but don't think I'll let you off the hook just because you took this little bit of money. Wait till you get back, and I'll show you what I'm made of.

Fu Yuqin looked at Wen's mother, whose greedy and smug appearance filled her with resentment.

However, because of Yu Shuyan, she managed to suppress the urge to argue with her.

She glanced at Uncle Fu and gestured to him that if Yu Shuyan wanted money, he should go and get it immediately.

However, she was still very reluctant to give such a large sum of money to the Wen family.

Yu Shuyan turned around and saw Fu Yuqin's expression. A slight smile appeared on her lips, signaling her to calm down, and she walked towards the inner courtyard.

The hurried pace of that figure seemed to suggest that he was afraid of displeasing his mother if he was too slow.

After taking a few steps, Wen Lang's urgent voice came from behind:

"Shuyan, wait a moment."

Yu Shuyan's smile widened even further. She winked at Fu Yuqin, and seeing her surprised expression, her smile deepened.

However, the moment he turned around, his face showed surprise:

"Husband? What's wrong?"

Wen Lang didn't know why, but looking at her obedient expression, which was exactly the same as before, he always had a strange feeling in his heart.

But he couldn't say what it was.

However, he didn't have time to think about it too much at the moment. After all, he had asked the Yu family for money quite a bit before, but that was always done in private, behind their backs.

However, if they actually took the money in front of so many people, the Wen family would truly become the biggest laughingstock in Lingjin City.

He was at a crucial moment in his official appointment and local evaluation. If word got out that he had used his wife's dowry, that would be one thing. But if, on top of that, he also asked his in-laws for money...

If you end up with a reputation for being a kept man, then your future will truly be ruined.

Even though he was very unwilling, he still maintained a nonchalant demeanor:

"Shuyan, you listen to your mother too much. She's been through a lot today and keeps talking nonsense. Don't pay any attention to her. I'll take her home first, and you can spend some time with your parents."

After saying that, he pulled along Wen Qing's mother, who looked puzzled and unwilling, gave her a warning look, and quickly walked towards the gate of the Yu residence.

Once out of sight of everyone, his usually gentle and polite face suddenly turned gloomy and twisted.
